I wasn’t sure which sub forum was best, but has anyone seen this movie yet? I finished it last night. They actually stayed very close to historic facts and didn’t add a lot of fluff. I think I was most impressed with the amount of the storyline that the gave Sir James Douglas.
I watched this last night too. I'm not sure of all the historical details, but I thought it was very good.
It was a great movie, I especially liked the realistic battle scenes.Imho the history of the British Isles is by far the most interesting in Europe and this is coming from a non-European.

Flags represent known or paper trail ancestry from greatest to least:
England, Scotland, Austro-Hungarian Empire, (Galicia Poland) French-Canadian, and Dutch American settlers.
I enjoyed it too. Refreshing to see a reasonably accurate storyline combined with authentic-looking costumes and sets. The church scenes in particular struck me, with the priests' regalia and setting looking right. Even the English were not quite the one-dimensional baddies they usually are in these things, and Edward was finely acted. Would love to see more historical drama of this quality now.

I love historical movies like this so I watched it and enjoyed it. There is also another Robert the Bruce movie coming out in 2019. Robert the Bruce's second wife wasn't English like in this movie she was actually one of the De Burgh's (Elizabeth De Burgh) and her father was Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster and 3rd Baron of Connaught.

His first wife was Isabella of Mar who died before he was crowned King of Scotland.

Plus she was imprisoned for 8 years, not just hanging in a basket for what seemed like a day. But I guess they had to speed things up for the movie.

Really? Do negroes lived in Scotland
at the beginning of XIVth century &
was a woman making coronations?
But generally it was much better than the
Braveheart, which contains much of idiotic
fictional things added by Gibson.
You just watched too much historical films, which in huge proportion are about the Isles.

You are probably much more familiarised with British history than the rest of the continent, which is expected considering the media and the internet is very anglicised. It's really hard (and I'd say very unfair) to say one is much more interesting than another
